    I've recently implemented the page optimization recommendations provided by Moz Pro to help our site rank for specific keywords on certain pages. It’s been about a week since we made these changes, and we’re happy to report that our optimization scores for the targeted keywords and URLs are looking strong. I did create these pages with our intended keywords in mind.

    However, two questions about the page optimization tool:

    1. Ranking Expectations: Since our optimization scores are good, when might we start seeing improvements in our keyword rankings? We know that SEO results can take time, but we would appreciate any insights on a typical timeline based on your experiences.

    2. Optimization and Search Intent: While the tool’s optimization suggestions have been helpful, we’re curious about how they factor in search intent. How does Moz Pro’s advice take into account variations in search intent, especially if users search using slight variations of the keywords we’re targeting?

      When considering optimization and search intent, Moz Pro’s advice focuses on ensuring your content aligns with what users are actually looking for, even when they use slight keyword variations. The tool analyzes trends and patterns in search queries to account for the different ways users might phrase their searches. For example, if users are searching for "Instagram bios" or "shayari," Moz Pro will identify common variations like "cool Instagram bios" or "heartfelt shayari" and recommend optimizations accordingly.

      For a site like igid.bio , which offers Instagram bios and shayari, Moz Pro would help by analyzing the specific ways people search for these terms, ensuring your content captures a wide range of search queries. By targeting slight variations in keywords and understanding user intent, the tool ensures that your site ranks higher and reaches the right audience, even when the search phrasing varies.

        @Cricket93 Great job on your SEO work! Even though your website looks better now, it might take a while for it to show up higher in search results. Be patient, and keep working on it.

        To make sure your website is really helpful to people, you should do some research on what people are actually searching for. Use tools to find good keywords and understand how people are using them. Then, make sure your website answers their questions and solves their problems.

        By combining these tips with the advice from Moz Pro, you can create a website that's both popular and useful.

          It's great to hear about your progress! Typically, you might start seeing keyword ranking improvements within 4-12 weeks after implementing optimization changes, but this can vary based on competition and search engine indexing. Regarding search intent, Moz Pro's recommendations focus on keyword relevance, but it's important to manually assess whether your content aligns with the intent behind those keywords. You might need to fine-tune your content to match user intent, especially for variations in search queries. I am a content writer at https://carpetcleanersblackpool.co.uk/ and you can check how i've used the tune that match the intent of user

              Is there a tool to check the SEO performance of articles from different websites?

              article reporting article performance seo ranking keyword ranking

              Is there a tool to check the SEO performance of articles(like 100+ articles) from different websites in one place? I am looking for a tool where I can put several URLs of the articles we have published in bulk for many of our clients, and it can show me how those articles are performing. This way, we can check the performance of these articles at any time; there is no need to add URLs every time.

              Only my homepage ranks for my keywords, should I delete my other pages?

              keywords ranking homepage seo

              I am an independent artist and all of my business inquiries come through my website (www.ChrisCarlsonArt.com). Over the last 6 months I have been trying to get pages other than my homepage to rank for my keywords, but I haven't made any progress. I worry that I am cannibalizing my keywords since my pages all have similar information. Should I just delete my other pages and focus on ranking my homepage? Also, if I delete my other pages will that have a negative impact on my rankings?

              Google search console 380,000 spam backlinks

              negative seo spam backlink attack

              Hi guys, I recently suffered a major negative seo attack against my site, with more than 380K spam backlinks using more than 5k domains. Because of this, I'm having serious problems tracking my site's statistics in GSC due to the limit of only 1000 query lines. Please, I need help on how I can get access to all these 5,000 domains in the search console so I can create a disavow list. Any tips on how to clean this up?

              Hi there, one of my client's sites is showing up in Google search results / getting a lot of site traffic from keywords that while very close to words we're actually trying to target on the site, are irrelevant for the client and their site content. Does anyone have ideas of how to address this?
